Pain Pattern Blueprint

Why do i keep getting injured?

Find out why pain, injuries and flare-ups keep happening and what needs to change to stop the cycle.

Why does your body keep ending up in pain?

Maybe it’s the back pain that settles, only to flare up again. A knee you manage, but it stops you being at your best. Or you recover from one injury only for another problem to appear.

If you’ve found yourself wondering “why do I keep getting injured?”, the Pain Pattern Blueprint looks beyond where it hurts to uncover the patterns you can’t always see.

We will make the invisible, visible.

You know where it hurts. You may even have a diagnosis or been told what’s tight, weak, irritated or needs strengthening.

But that doesn’t tell you why it became a problem.

Pain often develops when something is being asked to handle more than it can comfortably cope with. That’s the bit you can’t see.

Why are certain areas regularly overloaded? Why can your body cope with something one day but not another? And what keeps recreating the same problem?

Your Pain Pattern Blueprint looks at 4 key areas

to build the full picture

How you move

Where does your body move well and where is being asked to do more than it’s fair share, creating unnecessary strain?

How well you recover

Are you recovering well enough between demands, or repeatedly asking your body for more than it currently has capacity for?

The demands on your body

How high are the total demands on your body?  Not just training, total load from sport, work and everyday life.

Habits & Patterns

What are you repeatedly doing that unknowingly adds unnecessary load, keeps you stuck or slows your progress?

Instead of just knowing where you hurt, you start to understand why your body keeps ending up there and what you can change.

"I definitely felt in safe hands"

“I was amazed at how thorough the MOT was. Every possible measurement was taken to find any misalignments in my body. I definitely felt in safe hands – Julie really know what she is doing”

Rick, Ramsbottom

What happens if you keep treating each problem separately?

You can reduce and relieve the pain.  Strengthen the area. Rest until it feels better. Get back to training.

And sometimes that’s enough.

But if the same patterns underneath haven’t changed, it’s easy to end up back in the same cycle.  The same problem returns, another area starts complaining, or you gradually change what you do to avoid setting it off.

You get better at dealing with each problem without ever understanding why your body keeps creating them.

Your body makes decisions for you

  • You choose the shorter route.
  • You stop signing up for things.
  • You suffer on or avoid the downhills.
  • You train more cautiously

Eventually what you think of as “normal for me” gets smaller.

But many of the niggles, flare-ups and limitations we think are inevitable  don’t have to be.

You don't have to settle for smaller

You can’t prevent all problems. But you can learn to build a body that’s much better at dealing with them.

You can learn to notice small changes and take the right action early. Instead of ignoring them until they escalate. You know how to recover quicker and more fully, not accept pain gone as job done. 

When your body isn’t constantly compensating, recovering from the last problem or carrying unnecessary strain, it’s capable of more.

More freedom. More confidence. More of the things you enjoy. Whether that means bigger days out, harder challenges or simply living life without the constant worry of pain.

THE BLUEPRINT IS THE FIRST STEP. UNDERSTAND THE PATTERN NOW, SO YOU CAN START CHANGING WHAT HAPPENS NEXT AND BUILDING A DIFFERENT FUTURE.

What happens when you book

Assessment

We start by building the full picture.

How your whole body moves and where it’s under unnecessary strain.

How you train, your training data and live HRV to see what you’re asking of your body and how well it’s handling and recovering from those demands.

I will measure your key structures and range of movement at key joints. 

So we’re not relying on one test or one part of your body to tell us the whole story.

Analysis

This is where we connect the dots.

We bring your movement, recovery, training and everyday demands together to find the patterns that explain the bigger picture.

The goal is to understand why certain areas keep becoming overloaded and what’s driving the problem.

Consultation

This is where we start to answer the question: why do I keep getting injured?

We’ll meet again and I’ll show you  why certain areas of your body are taking more strain and the patterns causing your pain.

We’ll look at what would need to change, whether that’s building new movement patterns, improving how well you recover or changing some of the habits that keep adding unnecessary load.

You can decide whether you’d like my help making those changes.

"I feel stronger, move better and have less pain"

“I’ve had family members encourage me to give up. Told I’d always have a bad back and be in pain, but I’m so glad I didn’t listen.

I feel stronger, move better and have less pain than I’ve had in years. My consultant said whatever you are doing, carry on!”
